Counting or not counting gang violence?

I played Minecraft Beta (2011) when I was a pre-teen thanks to my brother introducing me to it

Also the fact that Venezuela is governed by a socialist party. It's another attempt at regime change so they can install Nobel "Peace" Prize winner Maria Corina Machado as their dictator

The white liberal must rid himself of the notion that there can be a tensionless transition from the old order of injustice to the new order of justice. Two things are clear to me, and I hope they are clear to white liberals. One is that the Negro cannot achieve emancipation through violent rebellion. The other is that the Negro cannot achieve emancipation by passively waiting for the white race voluntarily to grant it to him. The Negro has not gained a single right in America without persistent pressure and agitation. However lamentable it may seem, the Negro is now convinced that white America will never admit him to equal rights unless it is coerced into doing it.

Nonviolent coercion always brings tension to the surface. This tension, however, must not be seen as destructive. There is a kind of tension that is both healthy and necessary for growth. Society needs nonviolent gadflies to bring its tensions into the open and force its citizens to confront the ugliness of their prejudices and the tragedy of their racism.

It is important for the liberal to see that the oppressed person who agitates for his rights is not the creator of tension. He merely brings out the hidden tension that is already alive.

From age and ID restrictions on the Internet, to charging rappers with “terrorism,” the U.K. is demolishing the most basic civil liberties. If we let them, U.S. leaders may be close behind.

 

Not only is the UK's Online Safety Act a privacy nightmare censoring adult and LGBTQ+ content, it's also censoring information about sexual education, drug addiction support, abuse support, news of wars and protests, and more, especially for young people. And it won't just stop there as other countries like Australia, Ireland, and many US states are implementing similar laws.

Isn't being against war and genocide the same as anti-imperialism? I hate how saying "War is bad" has become so controversial and extremist.

Weird AI image. The signature at the bottom left and what appears to be a police car don't seem to make sense. But yeah, fuck those greedy CEOs.

The Tale of Princess Kaguya is also my favorite! I especially love its painted watercolor art style. Made me cry a lot too 😅
